About this listen

Read in December 2021. In this episode, Noel explores the enduring dominance—and mounting contradictions—of neoliberal economic thinking. From the rise of Hayek and Friedman to the persistent ghost of Keynes, Noel traces how economic orthodoxy sidelined democratic debate and humanist values. Drawing on thinkers like John Ralston Saul and Iain McGilchrist, the chapter broadens to a critique of reason's tyranny in Western thought, the financialisation of capitalism, and the collapse of shared prosperity. Is liberal economics at a dead end, and what comes next?
